Address-family?

Question:

Here I am agian.Cisco 3560V2 Price  Please look at the following commands:

address-family ipv4 vrf B
network 10.0.0.1 0.0.0.0
network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
no auto-summary
autonomous-system 220
exit address-family

What exactly does address-family mean?  Can anyone put it in context so I can understand it?  And what is the autonomous-system 220 doing there?  You may not believe how much seemingly trivia issues such as these can be great sources of impediments to a learner trying to muscle in on the act.

Answer:

in the configuration example that you have reported the address-family portion refers to running EIGRP for vrf A.

The autonomous system command makes the router to send EIGRP packets with EIGRP AS= 220 on the interfaces associated to vrf A, and to accept packets for EIGRP with AS=220 on the same interfaces of vrf A. In this way the router can talk with a CE router that is running EIGRP with AS=220.


The EIGRP AS number must match to form a valid EIGRP adjacency, the autonoumous system command allows to Cisco 3560 use a different AS to/from each VRF according to needs.
